Check out this link to where ChainsDD, who created superuser, posts the information about superuser. About halfway down the first post he mentions a fix if your having trouble installing superuser from the market so try that out.

If you are having trouble using ADB try going here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/10924-how-adb-windows-made-easy.html (I am assuming you are using Windows)

But for simplicity sake here is the portion I want you to pay attention to. This will make it easier to use ADB from your command prompt by adding the location of ADB to your path in windows:

There's two simple ways to get there:

1 way = click Start > Control Panel > System icon.

2nd way = click the Start button, right-click “My Computer”(Computer for Vista/7) and select “Properties”.

If your using XP, your there. If your using Vista/7, click on Advanced system settings on the left side.

You should now be in the System Properties window.

Click on the Advanced tab.

Click on the Evironment Variables... button

In the System variables(lower box), scroll through the list until you see Path under the Variable column.

Click on it to highlite it, click on the Edit... button.

We are going to add our path to adb, where we installed the SDK, in the Variable value: box.

Make sure your cursor is at the end of the last entry, and type this:

;C:\android\tools\

Be sure not to have any spaces!

(If your local drive isn't C: then just use the letter of your drive instead of C: )

Click OK on everything, and close Control Panel if it's open.

Now to use adb, at the prompt we only need to type in adb shell

That's it, you now have adb and it's ready to use!

So, supposedly, if you follow these directions on how to use ADB and then follow ChainsDD's instructions on the market fix you should be able to install Superuser from the market without needing to flash it.

The reason you are not able to boot into recovery is you were never able to give Rom Manager permissions to install the recovery in the first place.

It's not named wrong and its on he rot of SD card. I saw a YouTube video hat mentioned somehing about adding environment variable to win7 is his something I need to do. And I'm not having problems installing superuser it installed I just don't have root access. Something isn't working.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
I just saw this. Will do t when I get off work. Thanks hopefully this is it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
Environment Variables are good to use when messing around with ADB because it makes it easier to reference the path to where you have ADB on your computer but its not necessary. Reboot your phone in the boot loader (turn it off then turn it back on by holding the down volume button while it boots) and check to see if it says S-OFF on the top. If not then you dont have root and you should try the process over. If your watching videos on how to use ADB maybe you would be more comfortable using jcase's method for rooting here. Its basically the same thing but you enter in the commands manually and it may be easier for you to follow the instructions that way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
I not sure if this is my problem ether though. I open oneclickroot type in my adb location and it works. Pulls my firmware version and everything but as it starts pushing files its like it just tarts show errors and failed and stuff. Anytime I'm pushing files does it have to be on charge only? Cause I haven't been switching back from disk mode upon reboot. But then again it won't even flash the file on root of SD. So far it has done nothing to my phone. Hasn't even wipe my data tarts out fine like its gonna work but as soon as I select bootloader after phone shuts off it reads file not found but ra there. This is the gift phone I haven't been able to root he day I brought it home I'm depressed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
I'm gonna try doing the old fashioned way. It's te anyway I could get my dx rooted longtime ago so maybe I'm just stupid. But still doesn't make since cause it seems was holding me up is the downgrade file
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
The phone needs to be in charge mode but it needs to have USB debugging on. Have you enabled that? If the files arent pushing properly this could be the reason the phone isnt flashing the downgrade in bootloader.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] buschbarber:
What exactly was pushed out on 5/3 and how would I know that I have it. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
It was an update to the RUU and radio. According to what you said about your Software Number tho you dont have it. The newer RUU version is 1.13.605.7 and the new radio is Baseband Version 1.16.00.0402w_1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
With the effort and time you guys are putting into troubleshooting these 1 click roots you woulda been rooted manually and no headaches. Just my ¢2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] buschbarber:
Why can't I get the update? Do I WAN't it? How do I get it? I have requested software updates but none are available.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041514

Use at your own risk. Generally people say if your not having problems then it may not be necessary to upgrade. In the thread is one version we can use and retain root and the other we SHOULD NOT use if we have root.

Verizon is pushing updates as well but they basically come when they come.

For the purpose of rooting your buddies phone tho you should just disregard the update for now, I just asked to verify you were still using a version that we know this method would work for.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] buschbarber:
Thanks. I just wanted to understand what happened Will I continue to receive future pushes or do I have to do everything manually from now on?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
If you are rooted on the stock ROM you may receive the updates..but it may not install. If you are curious about updates as they come you should keep involved with this forum, you will see people talk about them and release altered versions of them to work with their custom ROMs. Always check here first or you may end up unrooting yourself by accident by installing Verizon updates.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] buschbarber:
Thanks very much. It helps explain quite a bit. I will be seeing my friend tonight and we will try to get Superuser working for him.

Do you know when our phones will be able to use a stable Video Chat such as Google Video Chat? I am anxious to use the Front Facing Camera for that purpose.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
Unfortunately no I do not. Keep up with the Themes & Apps section of the Thunderbolt forum tho and I am sure you will find information about it or possibly even get a question answered about it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
I must say I disagree. The issue I'm having is my bootloader won't find and perform the downgrade. Course then again it may be an issue on my end I'm sure its my fault somehow. Gonna do manual way here in a bit
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
Didn't mean it in a bad way but I've rooted 3 bolts so far using maual method never had a hiccup. And even if you do get stuck you'll know what step ur stuck on and can get help. Its as simple as copy/paste and copying/deleting file on SD card.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dalrym05:
Im just frustrated is all. for some reason under android phone in device manager it says my htc. isnt it supposed to say android adb compostiedevice? i used the sync program to install everything or does anyone elses say this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
I honestly don't remember what it shows in device manager. I'm at work and can't check. All I checked adb devices and if it showed up I rooted. No clue or concern about the 1 click method so idk.

The Root process takes the phone back to a previous state and then takes you back. You should have no problems.

Just so everyone knows... This does work perfectly with the latest firmware MR1. Just used it to root my replacement.

Thanks again for this Captain...:D

Its not skipping it...YOU put the Downgrade RUU on SD and rename it. It has the instructions in the script while you are running it.

Just read it carefully as you go.

So am I supposed to flash the upgrade file or the downgrade file at that point? The downgrade which I have been trying to flash keeps giving me the message the "Main Version is Older!".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
First off re download the RUU files. You will get that error if it is a bad download. (Myself and a couple others have had it happen).

Rename the (LONG) named one and put it on the root of the SD Card. Now run the script, it will do its thing and tell you what I just said about the file on the SD... then it will boot you into boot loader. Flash it and reboot.

Continue with the script...

When you get to the upgrade point do the same... Delete the last RUU from the SD and drop the other one (short) named one on there and rename it. Flash it, reboot.

Continue with script.

Quick Question, I just got a replacement phone and it has 605.7 firmware. What root method do I need?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bdubbin:
I'm in the same boat as you(have a new TB), noticed if you turn the phone into ladscape mode and read the firmware#, the last four digits will probably be 605.6, like mine. Portrait mode cuts the number making it look like the 605.6 is a different number. I believe the last #'s are the ones to look at?? Just a guess...

My whole # is 1.13.605.7-1.12.605.6
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Use the latest manual method. Just did it last night on 2 TB's and it worked fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
Use JCase's root method thats pinned in the Development boards. Just read all the instructions through at least once before you start the root.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
Like I posted earlier... It works flawlessly with .07

I've done it on 3 phones in the last week.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I ran this script with all the files downloaded and everything seemed fine. Installed superuser and then rebooted. Installed ROM Manager to find out I am not rooted. What could I have done wrong?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] buschbarber:
I went through this process 6 times before I got it right. Assuming your downloaded files are not corrupt, the key, for me, was to rename the RUU file to P05IMG.zip (using a Zero, not an Oh ),copy the renamed RUU file, to the SD card, when prompted, to choose Update, when prompted, to delete the file after Reboot, to copy the P05IMG.zip to the SD card, and also choose Update, when prompted.

The first P05IMG.zip is the RUU file renamed. The second P05IMG file is the one that was downloaded as P05IMG.zip.

Make sure you also delete this file after Reboot.

Be sure that USB Debugging is always enabled.

I went through this process on a friend's computer, with his TB, and it never worked. I brought his phone over to my house and used my computer, and it worked perfectly. We believe that the USB drivers, on his machine, were not installed properly. We both had Windows 7 Pro 64bit. There were some error messages, on his machine, that we did not see on mine, near the end of the Root process.

Be sure to install BusyBox.

With his machine, we kept getting the message about the SU zip file on the SD card, but we could not get into Recovery to flash it. Once we used my computer, we did not get the SU error message.

So I'm getting ready to manually root a friends tb and I've never messed with a tb before. I have an EVO and a evo 3D. I've been reading and I seen talk of the leaked gb radios bricking phones. So is it safe to flash radios? Also, could you recommend a good rom to run? If there is any advice u could give me or do's and dont's I would really appreciate it. I've rooted many evo's so I'm not in the dark when it comes to rooting but like I said, I've never messed with a tb and don't want to mess his phone up so anything you can tell me would definitely be appreciated. Thank U.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] qumahlin:
Those reports were never validated and the amount of people who did report it happening is so small that its nothing you need to worry about. Even if it did happen you can walk right into a VZW store, hand them your bricked phone, play dumb and they will replace it on the spot.

Batch File Method

For those of us that just want to click and be done:

http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...9-all-one-htc-thunderbolt-tool.html#post91530

Its EASY! Read the Read Me but basically

1. download

2. Unzip

3. install included drivers

4. put phone in USB Debug and stay awake

5. run batch file

6 choose to root / unroot

It does the rest. Downloads files, runs temp break files etc.

I have done it the long way on many thunderbolts. Its good to know how, but the power of Revolutionary with this batch file is the easiest thing ever!

yes, throughout this method it will wipe your phone twice, once when you first flash the RUU then again when you flash PG05IMG.zip

Can you download setcpu or rootchecker and see if you to have root. If it didn't wipe the device, then I will proceed, this is the only thing I have been waiting on to root. AND I would really like to use set CPU for battery life.

For some odd reason the daemon won't start when I have it set up as "charging"...it seems to want my phone to set to HTC Sync...is that normal?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Im not sure about this issue with the data connection, try downloading Anycut from the market then making a shortcut that link to activity-->Phone info then scroll down to see if LTE +Cdma/EvDo is enabled.

See a few quotes below for a similar answer.

At one step in the process you're supposed to rename that file with the long name to PG05IMG.zip and put it on the SD card, once it is flashed your phone will be downgraded. later on in the process you need to put a different file with the SAME name on your SD card (the other PG05IMG,zip). This is somewhat confusing to have two files with the same name in the end but if you accidentally flash PG05IMG.zip (the one originally named that) first then you may have some issues. Just take your time and follow the instructions

Yes it will as you have to flash an RUU twice which will wipe your partitions.

Well you could do:

adb push psneuter /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb push busybox /data/local
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
adb shell /data/local/psneuter
*you will need to restart adb here* adb kill-server
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
adb shell /data/local/busybox cp /data/local/su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0:0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

Then reinstall SU from the market (make sure it is the one made by chainsDD) after that

REBOOT your phone a few times. Find me on chat.andirc.net if needed.

That means you flashed the wrong RUU, in the step where it said to rename the long file to PG05IMG.zip you just copied over the file named PG05IMG.zip instead of renaming the other, or during the flashing process you accidentally bump the phone and hit a button that would cancel the downgrade.

Im not sure if that is normal as I dont use HTC Sync and am unfamiliar with it. If it works it works.
